Quote & Print Software is launching a new Label & Carton Packaging Print ERP module to join large-format, sheetfed and digital print ERP software in the company’s expansive range.
Managing Director Shanti Kumar says: “Our robust software solutions have been designed specifically to meet the needs of print service providers, large and small, covering all aspects of the global print and packaging industry and we’ll be showcasing a full range at Visual Impact, Sydney with a special focus on new releases.”
The new Label & Carton Packaging Module, which will be demonstrated for the first time at the show, features a knife register, which allows knives to be listed by size, type, colour and codes, automatic selection of the optimally-sized cylinder for each job, automatic repeat length calculation, and quantity-based press selection. For cartons, the features are similar, with input for interlocking designs and a stock grain direction selection.
The benefits of using a cloud-based solution
Over the past five years, Quote & Print Software has invested considerable resources to develop its Cloud Print ERP solution which uses the latest Microsoft technology and data hosted at the Microsoft Data Centre in Sydney. The solution, based on Software as a Service (SaaS) or ‘cloud’ model, includes mobile applications for IOS and Android and is integrated to MYOB, Xero and a number of web-2-print solutions and is available on a subscription service based on the modules included and number of users.
“This allows users to benefit from a turnkey solution for a fixed rental price, with everything included – software, any modifications required, and support from one of our senior print consultants,” Kumar says.
“The benefits of using a cloud-based solution are many – chief among them is the ability to access information anytime, anywhere, plus it also saves about 30% in infrastructure costs, because users do not have to invest in maintaining an expensive Local and Wide Area Network.”
The software has a number of core functions designed to streamline processes. These include estimating; creation of job bags, invoices, purchase orders, packing labels and shipping documents; capture of employee time including actual cost versus estimated; exporting of reports to Excel and debtor and creditor management. Management can define who has access to each level of the system.
As all Quote & Print’s solutions are designed on a modular basis, companies can purchase the complete package, or just the modules that suit their business and budgets.
“For new users and those migrating from a legacy system, this might be the majority of modules,” Kumar explains. “A smaller print business may budget to buy and implement one or two modules each year. Whatever their requirements, this modular strategy means we can provide the right functionality and ROI for each business…and then work with them to tailor the system as their needs grow and change.”
